The territorial administration has
corrected one of its hagrant violations of
law by resembling. expunging and other
wise extirpating warrant issued to
Public Examiner Harris, by which that
gentleman was paid from the Dakota IN
sane hospital fund nearly $500 for his
services as an investigator of the Trustees
of the hospital. The territorial admins
tration has done this at the suggestion
OF the Press and Dakotaians 1t pleases
us to see .sae administration SO intelli-
gently responding to our interpreta-
tion of the law and this
prompt response encourages
us to believe that our opinions may in
time prove valuable to Governor Church

the vanity naturally inspired by this
incident leads us to infer that we are
capable OF discovering sny African who
may attempt to conceal himself in the
administration woodpile. We are not
yet sufficiently learned in the statutory
department. to be able to explain by
what process the government of Dakota
extracted this money from the pocket Of
the public examiner and placed it back
in the fund from which it was burglar
lied, and in the absence OF any technica
knowledge on the subject can only con-
clude that the public examiner threw hit
pants over a chair when he went tc
sleep. After this there came still more
delicate pperation-thato OF insinuating
the currency back into the appropri-
alton for the insane. At this point WI
are compelled to draw the veil and ge
back out Of deep water. The hocu
| pocus has been accomplished and th'
insane fund bulges ous as largely as i
did before it was looted by the publi
examiner.

We are all aware that Omaha has
placed itself upon the high road to al
most limitless expansion in area, wealth
and population and that this change has
been accomplished within the past few
years. Knowing this, the process by
which its prosperous condition has been
so suddenly reached is interesting. The
Salt Lake Tribune tells the story:
It was by running ,p debt. This may
seem little strange at first glance but
it is trne. Omaha year after year ex-
listed and expanded as little even as this
city has during the past seven years; but
there IVES no real progress. In the mean

Iowa and southern portions OF Wiscon-
sin and Michigan has been increased !.
The drouth In this section has proved
decidedly injurious to growing crops.
Reports for the week ending Aug 6 In
dictate that the weather has been favor
sble in the west portion OF the cotton
region from Central Alabama to Texas
but from Alabama eastward the rain has
been greatly in excess, probably result
ing in injury to the growth OF cotton in
the low lands. Numerous showers oc-
Cured in Minnesota, Dakota, Iowa, Me-
braska, Northwest Missouri and North
ern Kansas, improving the condition OF
growing crops in those sections; but the
drouth continues in the corn states east
of the Mississippi, resulting In serious
injury to all growing crops. The
weather in New England and the Middle
Atlantic states is generally reported as
unfavorable, the wet weather retarding
harvest and injuring grain, hay and
potatoes. An excess OF sunshine and
temperature combined with slight ex-
cess of rainfall in Kentucky and Ten
nessee during the past week has prob
| ably improved the condition OF the to-
bacco crop.
WEEvIL IN THE FLAX.
Chicago, Aug. IA local paper says:
| The haxseed inspector OF this city hes
| discovered that some of the cars OF flax
seed received from the northwest con-
tain weevil to an alarming extent. III
the seed is as numerpusly infected as
the inspector says it will not make flax
seed oil. The inspector thinks the weevii
he found is OF new variety, but OF this
he is not certain and has submitted the
matter to the scientific Investigations Of
the Illihois state board OF agriculture.
The insect is not in the seed OF this
years crop, but infests the crop of last
year. To what extent some of the new
crop has been affected by contact is not
known, but it is certain that none OF the
elevator people will accept the seed with
the insect, for once the best is in the
house 1t is hard to get out.

cost OF grading and paving was assessed
according to the front footage that each
owned, and this amount was made pay
able in ten yearly bonds. the bonds
being Hen upon the realty until paid.
The result was that the property so inn
proved, doubled in value within year,
regardless of the lien against it. In
more than half the cases, tho original
owner sold out before they had to pay
the first bond, and suddenly it was
found that the best way sometimes to
get rich was to run in debt. But some-
thing else was discovered. The i'm
proyements gave 5000 working men
employment, to supply whom
there had to be great deal more bust
ness done. Three thousand working
men mean everywhere in the east 15, 600
people. 1t was found that hslf as many

This experience should be OF value &c
other western cities struggling for Q
start. The case of Kansas City Is al
most parallel with that OF Omaha. Iu
each of these two Missouri river towns
the boom was inaugurated by employ
ing laborers upon public works. This
drew to each city the nucleus of ar
| ective population OF consumers wht
| drew their weekly wages and gave then
back to the merchants. 1t was husl
times with so much wage money afoa
and flush times attracted others to thu
